Digital Video Recording And Its Significant Use In Technology

,
Back in my college days I first noticed an advert in a technology magazine about a new invention called a Digital Video recorder. This new invention was supposed to be able to record television programs without the need for cassette tapes; it would store them on a hard drive.
This sounded a brilliant idea. I lost count of the number of times that I had to delete a previous recording because I had run out of space on my tapes to record anything else, and at least I would not have to keep buying new tapes.
I remember what made it even more appealing was the fact that you could record programs automatically as well. You just set the timer and away you went. You did not even have to be at home to record your favorite program, and the picture quality was supposed to be as good as the original.
But as the first Digital Video Recorders were selling for about $1000.00 at the time, it was hard to find that kind of money. But after a year or two the price did drop, and I bought my very first DVR, and the only thing that did bother me was the fact that you could only update your TV listings by ringing up for them.
But aside from that my DVR was just how it was supposed to be, and the ability to record programs as stated made my life a lot simpler.
Technology has moved on even further since its first inception, and a DVR can now hold even more programs than before.
It almost seems like an eternity ago when the DVR first came out, but it was not really that long ago. But like most of the other recent inventions, I can not imagine what life would have been like without it.
They are such a handy piece of equipment to have, and if anything goes wrong with your cable, at least you have a back up of programs to watch that are stored on your DVR.
